Mask passwords

Use this setting to enable masking of passwords. This is turned on by default, and means that before writing a password to the log, hMailServer replaces it with three stars (***).

Keep files open

This setting lets you specify whether hMailServer should keep log files open inbetween writes. The default log writing behavior in hMailServer is that whenever hMailServer should append something to a log file, the file is open, written to and after that closed. This means that any data hMailServer writes to the file is flushed immediately. If there are a lot of small writes to the log files, this may be bad for performance.

If you configure hMailServer to keep log files open, Windows will buffer data being sent to the log file. This may dramatically improve log file performance. The downside is that the log files can not be deleted while they are open. When hMailServer has finished writing to a log file (in the case of the normal log files, this happens at midnight when a new file name is generated), hMailServer will close the file and the file can be deleted.
